84 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT OF THE SPECIES 
by later writers. The raceme of flowers on the left side of his otherwise very correct figure is imaginary, as the inflo- 
rescence is a loose few-flowered cyme. The flowers have a diameter of full 4 lines, and are 23-3 lines high; the 
subulate filaments are inserted a little below the throat ; no trace of scales visible ; styles and capsule secon or 
verrucose ; dry corolla at base of capsule; ripe seeds only 0.8 lines in diameter, almost globose, very rough; hilum a 
mere dot.

in Hb. Ruiz, now in the Royal Herbarium at Berlin, and the almost identical one in Hb. Pavon, now in the possession 
of E. Boissier of Geneva, — which latter is the original for Choisy’s description, — I can have no doubt about the 
identity of these plants. — Flowers 3 lines long, 3-4 lines in diameter, on very short pedicels, forming dense lateral 
clusters ; laciniw rather longer than the shallow tube; scales very large, deeply fringed ; corolla surrounding and 
partly covering the irregularly circumscissile capsule ; seeds triangular-rounded, nearly 1 line long.— In the Flora 
Peruviana the capsule is already figured as circumscissile ; but the whole figure, especially the details, are not very 
correct, and rather calculated to mislead,

In a 8 specimen the tube is more cylindrical and longer and the lobes rather shorter, uniting this species with

prot in long pendulous bunches resembling grapes ; tube deeply campanulate, almost ype ee twice as 
long as the broad, rounded laciniz ; corolla enveloping the widely gaping capsule, the styles of w 
shorter and thicker than in C. odorata; stylar portion of dissepiment broad and jagged. tlh Seas inter- [478 (28)] 
mediate between this and C. Chilensis, and perhaps specifically distinct.

almost globose, 3-34 lines long, a little ree in diameter ; corolla really ventricose or urceolate; ovary globose or even 
depressed ; I could not ascertain whether the styles become subulate ; stigmas small and slightly conic ; in the dried 
state the young capsule seems to be circumscissile even long before maturity ; corolla apparently covering the capsule. 
Evidently closely allied with @. odorata, to which in habit and inflorescence it bears a great resemblance.} 
21, C. Jatapensis, Schlechtendal! Linnea, VIII. p. 515.— Though well and carefully described, [478 (28)] 
and published as early as 1833, this well-marked species has been overlooked by later writers. It is similar 
to the last, but much smaller ; flowers, though on short pedicels, much less crowded. Its most striking character 
consists in the regularly aeranes! conic capsule, with shorter very strongly subulate styles, whence Schlechtendal 
not so geo calls it “ bico:

C. odorata, Peeppig! in Hb. 90. — A common plant in ae whence almost every collector sends it ; well character- 
ized by the densely clustered almost sessile flowers, cylindric tube, large, linear, almost sessile anthers, and short 
-deeply fringed scales; styles as long as the irregularly circumscissile capsule, even in fruit scarcely reaching to the 
throat of the tube ; seed oval, triangular, compressed, 0.7-0.8 lines long, with a small umbilicus marked with 
radiating lines, which centre in the small round hilum.

Pavon, according to the description and figure of Choisy and the authentic specimens in Hb. De Candolle, 
does not essentially differ. The specimens of Gay, 816 and 817, and of Bertero, 940, have a thinner, more membra- 
naceous texture than the ordinary C. Chilensis, but Gaudichaud’s specimen is absolutely identical with it. ]
